Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNot a Hotel but Noisy rooms above a rough pub. “Music” from pub till One AM then loud conversations outside room. Next to busy road - no food available - suggested we have breakfast a burger joint next door (which was closed anyway). See photos - The following 2 nights we stayed at a comfortable town centre hotel of a national chain which was 39% cheaper. Ruby is very overpriced for what it offers ( I had erroneously thought when booking that at that price it must probably OK), I regret I would not stay there again at any price..
Located near Sussex University - An effort has been made to decorate and renovate the rooms

United KingdomNo cupboard to hang clothes up in, and coffee, milk and sugar supplies in the room were not replenished after our first day.
The staff I met were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable enough. Parking on the surrounding streets was easy and convenient, and the location was perfect for our purposes. Great breakfast in the cafe downstairs, and some good beers in the pub.

United KingdomThe bathroom sink pedestal was a cardboard box! The double bed was against the wall on one side so you have to crawl out the end during the night. Outside the window was the extraction system for the café which is noisy if the window is open and vibrates the sill and wall when in operation. Small room with no cupboard only a chest of draws and one bedside cabinet. A bright night light set in the ceiling over which someone had stuck a piece of paper which subdued it somewhat. The towels provided were hard and abrasive and the shampoo and shower gel consisted of a very small tube, one of each, for two people for two nights. The tea cups were cardboard and there was three provided . This was not replenished so no tea on the second day! Not a biscuit in sight! Room was also not made up. This was room 10.

United KingdomRoom was clean and tidy, great shower. Nice roof top area to sit and enjoy the sun. The room was hot probably because the sun had been out all day, but a ceiling fan and window helped to cool it down. Bus stop opposite the pub with easy access into Brighton. A special thanks to Victoria who was so helpful and kind. Thank you.
